It's a fuckin' Sun article for fuxache! I heard Gough being interviewed on radio regarding this and he never criticised Miller and Bougherra - he admitted that there were plenty of bust-ups in his time and he actually commented on how he thought it was a good sign in terms of passion. And, yes... Smith does have to stick up for his players. Let's face it, no one on here does...!

Me neither - they are gettin on ma tits already Hope they get pumped Agreed.

Argentina... Have done since 1986 and Diego. Hopefully Messi lights up the tourney. I agree with the comments about Spain's footballing prowess though... and would love to see an African team (Ivory Coast probably the best bet) lift the trophy. Also North Korea - No One Likes Them; They Don't Care!

And Sergio Porrini... ye wouldnae like to meet him doon a dark alley... ...or on a squash court, eh Marco..?

Just had a thought... What about Big Duncan Disorderly? Mind the time he nearly killed a burglar that had the misfortune to try n' tan his hoose... quality. Burglar tried to do him for attempted murder or somethin'... nae luck, eh?

Souness, Roberts, Hurlock, Brown all roundabout the same time.

Neil Alexander will do for me anyhoo...

Stupid thread...

How do I vote for no one? Some no' bad players that I would like to keep... But build a squad around???!!!! Fuck off... Where's the midfield lynchpin? Oh... forgot - he was sold.. .

He's got hefty delusions of grandeur.... Get him tae fuck. No' bad player - but I have no respect for someone who has no respect for us or the country he is playing in. Bye bye Boogie... You really aren't that good mate! See ya... Good luck in Newcastle reserves or whoever you want to join.

In all probability... no one. Summer is the big signing window when most players are on a free (to sign immediately). Who did we bring in? Rothen (free transfer with wages paid by PSG)... I rest my case. Never mind. The squad is still good enough (just) to beat the rest to the SPL. Believe.

Shocking comment... Hope you know a good lawyer! One that isn't on the bevvy... Shit... Sorry! I forgot. We are all faceless cowards on a forum who don't have to answer for the accusations we serve up. Still not having that shite. Slag a manager for his tactics, okay... unfounded personal accusations have no place on a fitba' forum... Cowardice I say. Give it a rest wi' that crap... It's uncalled for and why would you want to deal out such keyboard diarrhoea to possibly our greatest ever manager...? :2gunsfiring_v1:

Shocking comment... Hope you know a good lawyer! One that isn't on the bevvy...

Yes... He has indeed been missed. We thought it was out with the old guard and in with the new breed but it hasn't panned out that way. Pedro Mendes when fit has not quite stepped up to the mark creatively either. Another guy who we used to say Ferguson was just stunting in creative terms and impeding and dominating with his moaning etc. Fuxache, we don't half need a good moaner / cajoler / leader oan the park noo!

Even management underrated him... Smith and Le Guen. I know he could play Centre Back but his best position was always DMF for us. He was the Interceptor-in-Chief!

Couldn't agree more - Brian was a class act sitting in front of the back four.

- This is what I was getting at...

Correct buddy - I had him in mind too. Forgot to mention him. More proof to the pudding!

So, you don't think he received a shed-load of abuse?

As far back as since Gary Stevens left the club... the fans' main target for hefty abuse has been the man in the right back position in particular. I give you Cleland, Hutton (apart from the last season) and now Whittaker. Poisoned Jersey anyone...?

You're right mate. The whole league is in a bad way but we need to try our utmost to retain the league and qualify (for financial reasons primarily) even if it is only to be the whipping boys again.

Or else the shit will really hit the fan. It's a relief in these worrying times that the rest of the challengers in Scotland are even worse. It is extremely scant consolation tough...

SPL it'll need to be then...

C'mon... Get intae them Rangers...! Show some fight and spirit... unlike most of the pseudo-managers with Masters Degrees in Hindsight on this thread...!

Nice one... where's your 12-string Rickenbacker Roger?
